Critics are furious over Amy Schumer’s newest parody of Beyonce’s protest song “Formation,” accusing the white comedian of appropriating black culture and making a joke of a song that brought attention to police brutality in America.

“You know you that b— when you cause all this conversation,” she wrote. “Thanks for the exclusive release Tidal! We had so much fun making this tribute. All love and women inspiring each other. #strongertogether.”

Despite the backlash, Ms. Schumer’s video was an exclusive on streaming service Tidal, for which Beyonce herself is an exclusive artist and her husband Jay-Z is a stakeholder, The Wrap reported.

On YouTube on Tuesday, the parody had been viewed more than 590,000 times since it was shared Saturday, receiving almost three times more down votes than positive reviews.
